Fun activities for a youth cheerleading camp...? I run a youth cheerleading camp (ages running from 5-14, and about 100 girls) and at the end of everyday the student coaches and myself lead fun activities. The problem is that I have done the same every year and wonder if anyone has any other suggestions that I could do. Remember it has to be appropriate and easy enough for 5 year olds, but not so basic that it bores the 14 year olds.

How can we keep up with our favorite show while at summer camp? Me and my best friend at camp have been getting into the show Eureka lately, she and I live far away from eachother, but we still talk a ton and I told her about Eureka and we've both seen the first season. The second season comes out in June, but we go to camp on June 21st. At camp, we are allowed to use our iPods and such, and we probably could use her DVD player though. I don't know if you can put things you've downloaded from iTunes on DVDs, so if our parents could do that... Anyways, please nobody tell me that 'there's better things to do at camp than watch TV'. We would only watch it during our flashlight time and on rainy days when we can't do regular camp activities. Also, the camp is 2 months long, so we don't want to wait till it's over.
